Exactly *how* late in the game can we introduce interesting new characters?😅
I’m working on the final act and this particular character I had planned on introducing in a future book decided to pop in and steal the scene🙈

Write new worlds. Write beautiful places. Write angry people. Write imaginary beasts, futile quests, broken hearts, lifelong injustices, mysteries, love affairs, lost children, newfound purpose. Write anything that allows you to escape or heal or vent or rage or explore or reconcile. Write 🖤
I’ve been dragging my feet all week but today I finished drafting the final big action scene for Part 3 of my WIP🙌

Rereading 🏹Wild Magic🐴by Tamora Pierce—a true gem of ‘90s YA fantasy filled with animal companions, rare magic, and found family.
It’s been my comfort read since I was a preteen, and I try to reread it every year

Nothing like rereading the books that made you want to become a writer.
Had a 💡 moment last night. So I wrote the big showdown months ago & my FMC is in a rough spot.
I’m like ~how~ do I get her out of this in a way that makes sense, feels organic, & is NOT a deux x machina?
answer: the ✨power of friendship✨ we don’t have to do everything on our own🙌

Writing goals for 2025
🔹Finish editing my WIP
🔹Send to betas
🔹Start the querying process
Still screaming 😱😱😱
It was a lovely post but definitely gave me one of those “oh crap am i guilty of doing this?” Moments😆
The other day I saw a post on the clock app about individual characterization within dialogue and it’s been haunting me ever since
I thought my WIP was in a good place but now I want to go back and make sure my characters are speaking “in character”

Wine colored is such a perfect description for them.
Is there anything you’ve been wanting to read? Maybe we could start a bluesky book club of sorts. I would totally be down if you’re interested ☺️
Welcome!
I haven’t a clue as to the answer but I’d like to know🧐
I downloaded Fable a few months ago but haven’t done much on it yet. I love reading along with others & usually do so in discord if the community has one

Yes big Calcifer vibes😉
There’s so many of these I’ve not posted because of spoilers. I didn’t think of redacting certain info😅
I’m SO doing this from now on
Hazel’s aunts forgot to mention the sassy Daemon living in the drawing room fireplace😅

So for editing I keep it real basic 12 pt Times New Roman with 1.00 line spacing
For drafting I used comic sans because I heard somewhere it increases productivity (no idea if that’s true)
#LateNightWrite
The last year has been fruitful, wrote 100k words & counting, connected with other writers & learned about the craft & business side of things(not my favorite but still important)
I learned discipline & just put blinders on & focused my energy ONLY on this one WIP the entire year.
#LateNightWrite
Hi all I’m Amarie and I write about teen witches focusing on strong FMC’s and formative friendships
My hope for the holidays is just to get through them tbh and make them special for my daughter
Had some interest from within the target demographic of my WIP to beta read(I’m panicking and need to finish my continuity edit but I’m SO excited)
Love the vibes here. Nothing hits quite like southern gothic
I had such fun participating and seeing what everyone is working on and connecting with more writers. I’m looking forward to following along and seeing where these amazing pitches end up by this time next year.

Thank you for hosting
I’m SO intrigued by this.
"Which monsters to slay, and which to become" truly a chef’s kiss of a line
I’ve been thinking about getting the scrivener app you may have just convinced me.
Sometimes I can’t bare to open my laptop after staring at it all day at work. & google docs or my notes app leave much to be desired at times to say the least😆
May we know them, may we be them, and may we write them!
